Theinvention an; appear more clearlyffrom the ollowing'detailed description when taken in h "on with i the accompanying drawing,

a preferred embodiment of the inven- Show. a irl dea fi l vInt i fi l fil igurelfisa perspective view of a rolling'device conetructed accordance'with the principles of th'e lpre'sent invention;

device". i. A 3 is a section along, thekline 3-3 of Figure 4 a lcrossesection. through a part of theroller and shows eans for applying. removable inscriptions to a; rolling surface.

Figured shows in perspective a plate which may be carried by therolling device; and

Figure 6 shows in perspective one of the removable rolling members.

The roller shown in the drawing comprises an axle Ill, one end of which carries a disc I l rigidly connected with the axle l0 (Fig. 3). The opposite end of the axle I0 is adapted to carry a disc shaped nut l2 which is screwed upon the threads l3 of the axle Ill.

The axle ID carries two plates l4 and I5 which are similar to each other in shape and which are held at a predetermined distance apart from each other by removable and replaceable rolling members I6, [1, l8 and I9.

The plate !4 comprises cutting edge portions 20 provided with radial grooves 2|. The plate I4 is also provided with an annular groove 22 which serves for supporting the edges of the removable members IE to [9. As shown in Fig. 3 of the drawing, the plate I4 is also providedwith a depressed middle portion 23 into which fits the disc 2 is a vertical cross-section through the .Il. An annular groove 24 surrounds the de pressed middle portion 23. p

The plate i5 is similar shape to the plate l4 and comprises a depressed middle portion 25 The disc I2 screwed upon the threadedend i3 of'the axle i0 fits into this middle portion 25 which is surrounded by' an annular groove 26. Another groove 2'! is used for supporting the edges ofthe removable'members iii to L9. The cutting edge portions ili of the plate iii are provided with radial grooves 29. p

The removable rolling members iii to l9 are substantially alike in form and may be conveniently replaced by other similar members having adiiferent design. The member I! is illustrated by wayof example in Fig. 6 of the dr awmg Asshown'in Figpfi,each oi the removable rolling'membersis curved so that when all the' mem bers are placed edge'to edge they form a cylindricaPSuriaoe-Q Thejedges30 and 3i of the roll-- ing members are adapted to be inserted into'the groove 22 of the plate" 54 and thegroove 21 of the plate l5, respectively. The edge 32 of each rolling member adapted to lee-inserted into the groove'33 of the adjacent rollingmember so thatall the rolling members placed edge to edge form a cylindrical surface. Each member is provided with a projecting cutting flange portion 34 0 comprising a number of parallel grooves 35.

It is preferable, though not essential, to provide the outersurface 36 ofjeach rolling member with a design 3'iwhich may be stamped or other wise formed-upon the surface 36. The design may have the form of aletter or a symbol and may have any suitable shape or form. It is advisable to provide several sets of substitute rolling members having different designs in order to vary the designs imprinted upon the dough.

If the biscuits or cookies are to be provided with inscriptions it is advisable to use separate inscription plates, one of which is illustrated by way of example in Fig. 5 of the drawing. The plate 38 shown in Fig. 5 comprises a middle portion 39 provided with an inscription 40 which 4 plate II is placed upon the axle III with its depressed portion 23 fitting around the disc I I rigidly connected with the axle l0. Then the rolling members is to l9 are place in position, the edges 30 of these members fitting into the groove 22 of the plate I4 the edge 32 of each rolling member (Fig. 6) fitting into the groove 33 of the adjacent rolling member. After the rolling members Hi to I9 have been assembled, the plate I5 is placed upon the axle l0 so that the groove 21 of this plate fits around the edges 3| of the rolling members IE to Hi. Then the disc I2 is screwed upon the threaded end i3 of the axle I0 and finally the handle carrier 49 is inserted upon the axle l0.

To operate the rolling device the dough is spread in a thin layer upon a table and then the rolling device is passed over the dough. The edges 34 of the rolling members IE to 19 will separate the dough into biscuits of a predetermined size while the designs 3'! and/or the inscriptions carried by the plate or plates 38 will be imprinted upon the biscuits.

Obviously by employing rolling members hav ing different designs and dimensions it is possible to make biscuits or cookies of different sizes and of different designs.
